Dania, 18 years old, NJ | 1 DAY WAITING

Wish submitted by:

Dania has been in the Division’s custody since age six after being removed from her mother due to substance use. She has experienced significant loss, including the death of her father, and has worked hard to heal from trauma. Through determination and perseverance, she completed several programs and overcame her own substance use disorder. Dania is finishing high school while caring for her newborn and planning to pursue a cosmetology license. She is a loving and attentive mother, committed to giving her child the stability she did not always have.

Dania has recently started her journey at community college, beginning with her basic classes as she works toward a college education and a more independent future. She is determined to succeed and provide for herself and her child. Unfortunately, the laptop Dania used recently broke. Having a reliable laptop is essential for her college work, including completing assignments, conducting research, and writing papers. A new laptop would give Dania the tools she needs to stay on track in school and keep working toward her goal of becoming independent and building a successful future.
